The NCCE Has Lost It’s Significance – David Antwi Boasiako

The National Commission for Civic Education is a government agency in Ghana. It is the commission responsible for educating Ghanaians on civic matters. The commission was established by the Act 452 of the Parliament of Ghana in 1993.

How then does one intend to see development in our localities without paying tax?

After the minister of education met with the Press, there was news circulating on social media reading “NO TIN NO FREE SHS”. I would like to make it clear to Ghanaians that it is false. Any student who qualified for Free SHS will never be denied access to school but parents will be assisted to register.

Free SHS is the single largest social intervention policy covering all citizens, irrespective of your background. This means it offers the widest opportunity to get more people to sign up for TIN at the point of benefit.

TIN number is not something to play with because without TIN number you cannot do a lot of things in the country ie; obtaining a passport, filing a case at a court, conducting business with government agencies, clearing goods from port, opening bank accounts among others.
